Big HUGS and THANKS to my sample makers! ShellieD, Toy, Understandblue, PH in VA, and tygerpaws11
Well I do know I have NO bee or hive stamps but if I can find it I have a bee die cut - I guess the hunt is on. If I can't find it I do know I have plenty of yellow cardstock!
For the Save the Boo Bees, I used some SU bee stamped images I borrowed from a friend awhile ago. I found a DC of a large wine goblet, cut off the stem, and drew the lines for the beehive. To mimic the texture of the honeycomb, I made the doorway pebbly with a Cuttlebug EF. the flowers are from SU's Thoroughly Thankful, the gold cord is from On The Surface, and the bee button is from my stash. Have a wonderful day! Here's my card:
Brr, it's cold and wet and rainy here, with a severe weather warning in place. Some warming cheerful yellow is no bad thing - but I think I should have used flash instead of trying to manage without. At 4 in the afternoon ;-( HYCCT Bloomin' Bee by Cook22 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers
Here is my HYCCT1123 Bee card. My first thought was be strong, so I used it as the theme. To make my bee more yellow I colored it with distress ink after embossing. I'm making five of these cards to send in.
Here is a link to my card Bee Strong
Thanks to everyone who participated in my challenge! I love the cards you've shared, and look forward to coming to the challenge gallery for future inspiration.
